Summary: Suprisingly good
Review: I am not usually a fan of time-travel romances, but this one was good. I really liked the main characters. Magnus is a viking who has a number of children and a heart of gold. He is transported through time with his children to modern day California. Not only is it funny to see a grown main adjust to a new time, but adding all those children into the mix really added to the humor in the story. The only thing that really did not add up was how long it took for all of them to realize they were in another time. For the longest time, Magnus and his children thought ways were different becaue they were in a new land, not time. I thought that made them seem dumb. Other than that, it is sexy, warm, and funny. Very entertaining, even if time-travel is not your usual genre of romance.

Summary: A Hoot, in the very best way
Review: I bought this book because I was so amused by the title; I never had heard before of author Sandra Hill. Please understand that this is not a conventional story. That said, if one can accept time-travel, whimsy and hot (HOT!) sex, then this is a fun read. (Have you heard the one about the medieval Viking warrior whose ship washes up on a Hollywood movie set? Ba dum bum!) By virtue of everything going on in this plot, VVV truly is distinctive. Author Hill writes beautifully, but there is so much doing in THE VERY VIRILE VIKING that it is easy to overlook her skill. Her historic detail seems knowledgable and plausible, though I was surprised to learn that medieval Norsemen spoke Middle English. Still, in reading a novel such as this, a reader either accepts the premise and goes along with the fun, or the reader walks (or runs) away from the book. Sandra Hill displays a keen sense of humor, again easy to overlook in this well-paced tale, as the plot flows along so nicely--dare I say, even so plausibly. It is entertaining to read her displaced character's take on our modern life, on such basic necessities as deodorant and sanitary napkins and "dome-noes" pizza. And, as I already mentioned, her sex scenes are as good, or better, than any others I have read in the genre of racy romance--so be warned, because VVV definitely is not for the faint of heart! I definitely look forward to reading more of Ms. Hill's work in the future.

Summary: Okies...Leeanne LOVED this book!
Review: I enjoyed this book from page one to the end, and laughing all the way...I mean 10th Century Viking discover Wallie World...what a howl! Magnus is the brother from Truly Madly Viking and the Last Viking. Magnus is sort of the joke of his village. He has 13 kids, two have died and he is just marrying off his eldest daughter. We soon begin to understand, that not all these kids are his, but every woman wanting to get rid of her unwanted baby has passed it off as his. But Magnus is not stupid, he just loves his children, though they do drive him - and the village nuts at times. So he takes the A-viking and ends up as his brothers did in present day. Boy when they go A-Viking they really go A-Viking. In this one he and his 9 kids land in the land of Holly & Wood...and he instantly finds his destiny in Angela the granddaughter of Rose, owner of the Blue Dragon winery. Rose want grandchildren, wants her granddaughter happily married and would like to see the series of accidents reversed so once more the winery can produce wine. It is charming and so utterly witty! I simply loved this book, the best of Sandra Hill.

Summary: amusing time travel romance
Review: In 999 AD Norselands, widower farmer Magnus Ericsson raises eleven children, ranging in age from infant to teen, by himself. Saying no more kids, Magnus vows to remain celibate. He also needs to spice up his life so he takes ten of his brood with him (one is married) on a sea trip, but a mysterious fog traps the vessel within its darkness. In present day Hollywood, Angela Abruzzi along with her family struggle to save the family vineyard, Blue Dragon, currently not producing any wine. Angela thinks a Viking movie filmed at Blue Dragon will save the Vineyards. Meanwhile her grandmother worries about Angela and prays a man will come for her single granddaughter. Magnus and his family land at Holly and Wood in Angela's time. Because of his garb and accent, everyone thinks Magnus is an actor. Angela is persuaded to keep an eye on him to keep him out of trouble. As he battles modern times, Magnus finds Angela is the real challenge as she makes him desire an end to his vow of celibacy. Up front this is not a Carpenter type novel. Instead readers obtain an amusing time travel romance that is outrageously funny when Magnus voices or acts on his observations. The plot avoids the one book joke by placing Magnus and his football team into varying scenarios. Angela is a charming counterpoint trying to provide normalcy, but failing because she loves her displaced actor. Fans of contemporary Viking tales will obviously enjoy this novel, but so will anyone who appreciates a very humorous almost slapstick story. Harriet Klausner

Summary: LOL fun!!
Review: Magnus Ericsson has a bit of a problem...well, more than a bit. He and nine of his eleven children left home and found themselves in California--one thousand years in the future. There he meets a woman...THE woman for him. Angela Abruzzi doesn't know what to make of the man who claims to be from another time...who claims to be her destiny. Together they must find a way to save her family's vineyard...and maybe find what magic lies between them. Sandra Hill pens a unique tale of love that can overcome time itself...and even more miraculously, can overcome the distractions nine children can cause!! <g>
